This is not exactly what you were talking about but this works well for 
driveway maintenance:

There is some sort of rig I've been seeing lately that I'd like to try but I
don't know what to call it.  I tried to find it on a web search with no
luck.  It is a 3 pt mounted square frame maybe  6 feet square with small
grader blades set at angles inside the frame.  It drags along the top of the
ground pulling dirt from side to side and leaving it level.  Anyone know
what I'm talking about.
